On CAPS, 94% of the 1,450 members who have rated DuPont believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include All-Star Smittyh and mistercube.

This past summer, Smittyh tapped DuPont as an ideal way to get paid for your patience: "This is a strong company, fair moat, and great dividend waiting for the market to turn around. [DuPont] has weathered the storm and is poised to go forward."

In a pitch from last month, mistercube highlighted the stock's recent weakness as a perfect opportunity to pounce:

The run up beyond 35.00 made valuation seem just a tad inappropriate, given short-term uncertainty regarding 2009-2010 earnings, so I closed my previous green thumb.

Shortly thereafter, the news that [DuPoint's] forthcoming seed/corn technology would be delayed a few years was answered by the public with a 7% sell-off. My question has to be: Are we to believe these forecast 2011 and beyond agriculture-related earnings were priced in to that extent? Maybe they were, but I see this as yet another market overreaction. If that's the case, I don't mind playing the greater fool this time.
